Landscaping is an upfront cost, but consider the value that landscaping can have on your property—upwards of 30%. A few neighborhoods have mature landscapes, or are in the ‘big tree’ area (in local real estate jargon), and come with the inherent enhanced value and ‘curb appeal’. Most of us don’t live there, though, but we can create ‘curb appeal’ and enhanced value an order of
magnitude above the initial expense in a few short years. Besides, landscaping has an added benefit—the pleasure derived while watching the results of your efforts
grow!

Throughout this site, the following are used as guidelines for watering established plants:

These truly xeric plants can live with our 12 inches of natural annual precipitation and only need a winter watering during a multi-year drought, but they will thrive with a monthly watering. Overwatering will kill some of these.

These plants are adapted to intermittent deep
watering with soil drying to a depth of a few inches between waterings. Watering frequency may be every couple of weeks during the active growing season and maybe only one winter watering for optimal care.

These plants need regular watering somewhat like a bluegrass lawn so that
they never dry to depth in the root system during the active growing season, and need occasional winter watering to prevent root dessication and resultant plant
death.
